Question: Do you leave the kids in the car to return the shopping cart?

I don't. If I can't find a parking space right next to the cart return I just load all of the groceries in the car, and take DS with me to return the cart. Now with another baby on the way it seems like I am going to be parking in the boondocks to insure I get a space right next to the cart return LOL.

ETA- kids, as in babies, as in not able to get out of the car say under 5.

If I'm parked right next to the corral, I'll put them in the car and then put the cart back. If I'm not parked next to one, I take them with me to put the cart back, and then we walk back to the car together.

Only if I'm right next to the cart return. I always park at the farthest cart return from the door anyway. lol If I can't park next to a return, I let the kids ride in the cart on the way to return it, and then they walk back to the car.

Hell no, im a very protective mommy, those are my kids and if anything were to ever happen to them I would never forgive myself. All it takes is for you to turn your back for 2 seconds and your precious babies are gone.
